HSSE Trainings and Competence Assessments

Persons using equipment and machinery at work must receive adequate training to ensure health and safety in their use, supervision, and management. The combination of training, skills, experience, and knowledge that individuals possess and their ability to apply them is crucial for providing a safe working environment. This is determined through a training needs assessment that is tailored to the specific scope of work.

Key points include:

• Training, skills, experience, and knowledge are essential for ensuring safe equipment and machinery use.
• Training needs assessments should be conducted based on the scope of work.
• Organizations benefit by tracking employees' skills to align strategy and planning with future skill requirements.
• Employees should be equipped with the knowledge and skills to identify workplace hazards and risks and implement control measures to prevent incidents resulting in either loss or no loss.
